SOLO REPORT: Al Hermans
Event #7 was held on August 18. There were 128 drivers in attendance. Results are posted on the region website.
The Street Survival school was held the day before and 15 students showed up. We had 8 coaches and a number of volunteers as well. Big thanks to Lori Gill and Doug Gill for coming in at the last minute to teach the classroom portion of the school (Lori) and sweep the skid pad (Doug).
Registration is open for Event #8 on September 22. We have 23 entries so far.
Solo Nationals is next week. Good luck to everyone that will be attending.
We have a request to replace the tires on the van and trailer. A quote has been obtained from Discount Tire (one of our drivers works there) which was shared last week, IIRC, attached to an email from James Young. He has asked for BOD approval (this expense was not on the budget submitted at the beginning of the season) to use some of the equipment money from the no work option offered at most of the autocross events to pay for the tires (they are around 8 years old and in questionable shape). There have been a few reply emails signaling approval but if the BOD could vote on it tonight, we can arrange for the tires to be replaced soon if the measure passes.
The purchase of tires was approved by board members and the tires have been installed.
MEMBERSHIP REPORT: Paula Diehl – 672 members for the Region.
